I Think I'm Gonna Do It! (Spimmy)

[Gunsmoke]

Hey guys I think i am going to buy a chep imagine or another cheap spyder and do the spyder to timmy conversion. I think i can get the parts pretty cheap. MY concern is that i might mess up and ruin the entire gun. So i might have someone else build it for me. Has anyone donr this coversion here on AO before?

[ojhspyro89]

do it man, just really make sure what your doing before u actually do it. Plan it all out even before you buy a 2 dollar detent. Make sure u know how everything works to, most of the time u can fix something if u know how it works.

[afultz075]

I'd probably go with some sort of top-cocking spyder to build it from rather than an imagine, since you'd need to do some work to use a Timmy bolt on an imagine body

[Gunsmoke]

Top cocking spyders are the fenix, tl-x, and the pilot. They are quite a bit more than an imagine but i might just have to spend more money on a stock spyder.

[meshaq]

or look for a used TES or"The One" body, theyre top-cocking

[Glickman]

i was very serious on it until i realized it would cost atleast 200... thats 200 towards tons of other things, things.. other than a intimidyder :)

You won't get it done for anywhere near 200 bucks. If it were that cheap, everyoine would do it. It costs a least 400... You might as well buy a 2k2 timmy for 100 more.

[Gunsmoke]

If i can get a good deal on the parts i need i will do it. Otherwise i'll just buy a timmy. There was a guy on pbnation that did this coversion for a little over $200.

Frame ~ $90
Solenoid ~ $40
Board ~ $70
Ram Sleeve + Ram ~ $50
LPR ~ $40-100 depending if how you want it
HPR ~ $40
Bolt ~ $10
Wiring Harnesses ~ $50
Eye Covers ~ $20
Hoses, screws etc ~ $20

Approximate at the lowest prices you can find used.

[Gunsmoke]

Thanks for the aproximate but i think i can get all the parts for less than that.

when i drew up my list, it was a little different
Ram 20$
Ram Sleeve 45$
Ram Cap 20$
6 barbs 25$
Cocker Hose 5$
Timmy Lpr 50$
Poppit 30$
Wiring Harness $20
Cupseal 5$
Solenoid 60$
Clammy 150$
Inline reg 60$
alot of these stupid little pieces are pretty expensive purchasing by themselves

just to give you another idea of how much itll cost.

[meshaq]

to save some money you could also use a classic or GZ frame instead of a clammy.

[Gunsmoke]

Hw much will a GZ frame run me? I dunno if i can find all the parts right know for real cheap. I am lookin to buy a cheap timmy just in case if i cant find all the parts for cheap.

[meshaq]

i think you can find GZs for like $50 or less

[Gunsmoke]

Is there anyone here on AO that hast done this conversion that might build the gun for me if i get all the parts an stuff? :rolleyes:

[misenhei]

Don't forget Bob Long's Millenium body....
if I recall correctly, the very FIRST timmy was built up from a millenium

[punkncat]

There is a WAS kit available for the Spyders , complete w/ eyes. IT isn't a Timmy , but they sure are fast that way.

[Gunsmoke]

Punkncat please give me a link if you know one about the was board and eyes for spyders. Thanks.

[Gunsmoke]

I have a few more question on the spimmy. Would an alias lpr and an alias solenoid work in this conversion?

[tony3]

solenoid will, dont bother with the alias lpr, they will run you a LOT of money and definitely aren't worth it. Go to www.bradyspaintball.com and look for a 15* ASA lpr one, its pretty cheap and perfect for what you need.

[Gunsmoke]

I found out that alias parts are slightly different than the other intimidators therefore it will not fit.

tony3- Thanks for the link
